What are you building and why?

AR-10 with a vortex scope? Take down most NA game, and be able to defend your home? You get one rifle. What will it be and why?

A tikka T3 in .300 win mag with a SWFA 3-9x40HD. Spend the rest on supressor and ammo.

Bergara 7 mag. Night Force Scope and Dead Air Nomad 30 Suppressor put me right around 3k. Love it

If I was limited to just one rifle it would be simple to operate and maintain and in an easily available caliber. Add in the requirement that must take down most NA game and that sounds like a bolt action in .308 or 30-06 to me.

That's just not realistic. There will never be a situation where I only have one rifle.

Cartridge: I live in the southeast. .308 or 6.5 cm are great rounds either of those.
Scope: Leupold VX5 hd 3-15x44 might be the perfect hunting scope and can do long range in a pinch.
Will absolutely have a silencer on it.

I custom built an AR in6.5 Grendel for 1200.
Put a VX-3HD on it for 800
Leaves 1K for a can

Perfect build for me

I’m limited to one single rifle? Then AR-10 in .308.
